WCML 119: Peaceful Productivity 4: Peaceful Time Management

Pace Smith

“Productively manage your time.”
Sounds like a steep uphill climb.
But that is fallacious!
You can feel spacious,
And slacking need not be a crime.

• “not enough time” is a polite lie
• aligning your time with your priorities
  • WCML 068: Wild Crazy Meaningful Death, with Caitlin Doughty
    • pathfinding
    • reminder: boil shoulds and have-to’s down to wants
• It’s better to make tough “this can wait” decisions than to feel overwhelmed.
• choice
  • tyranny of choice (“It’s bread, in crumb form”)
  • manufacturing happiness only works when you’re locked in
• perfectionism
  • “I need to be perfect because…”
  • you are enough
  • Turn it around and remember your new mantra in the moment.
• tiers or tears: Tier 1 “must-do”, Tier 2 “would be awesome”, Tier 3 “would be nice” (http://pacesmith.com/tiers/)
• The Leonie Effect
• practicing (e.g. no backspace in email)
